VIDEO: Watch Ozzy Osbourne ‘Bark at the Moon’ During Total Solar Eclipse

Ozzy Osbourne’s Prince of
Darkness nickname has taken on a whole new meaning.

The legendary metal singer headlined Illinois' Moonstock Music
Festival on Monday during the region's total
solar eclipse. Much to the delight of the
eclipse glasses-wearing fans in attendance, Ozzy and his band fittingly
performed “Bark at the Moon” just before the
rare astronomical event kicked into high gear.

As concert footage shows (below), the past Stern Show guest and Black Sabbath frontman began his hit song in broad
daylight and by the time the chorus came around the concert grounds were
shrouded in darkness. The band kept rocking all through the minutes-long night,
however, and didn't conclude until the Sun had again emerged.

Ozzy reportedly played his final concert
with Black Sabbath in February, but he will be performing as a solo artist
throughout the summer. Upcoming dates include the Louder Than Life Festival in
Louisville on Sept. 30 and Aftershock in Sacramento, Calif., on Oct. 22. He's
also headlining Ozzfest Meets Knotfest in San Bernadino, Calif., on Nov. 4.
